For this reason, the Government intends to procure this equipment on a sole source basis from The Boeing Company (Cage Code: 0PXV4). THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.

The capability statement must provide clear and unambiguous evidence to substantiate the capability of the party to meet the requirement as listed above without substantial duplication of costs not expected to be recovered through competition or unacceptable delays in meeting the Government�s requirement. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses received as a result of this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
